Bucharest transport
Because the capital of Romania is a big and crowded city, the need for the Bucharest transport becomes very obvious. People who are staying or visiting Bucharest can choose among going by bus, by tram or by subway. But those are available between 5 a.m. and 11 p.m. and sometimes waiting for a bus, tram or subway to come can take more than 10 minutes.
The Bucharest car rent or Bucharest car hire is a good choice as a Bucharest transport solution because cars give liberty to use them any time, even in the late hours of the night. We suggest that, if you go out to have dinner or you want to know the Bucharest nightlife by going to pubs or nightclubs, then you'll have to restrain yourself from consuming any alcoholic drinks because the Romanian law is very strict and does not allow even a drop of any alcoholic beverage in your blood when you take the test.
For those times when you feel like grabbing something to drink, you can relay on a very diverse and prompt taxi service. Using taxis as Bucharest transport and for many it is a good option because it’s easier and quicker to arrive in a specific location and you can choose among a wide variety of taxi companies: cheaper and modest cars, medium with moderate quality vehicles and also luxury taxi cars for those that prefer something classier. The average cost for a kilometer is around 35 € cents, depending on the company. Most Bucharest taxi companies will be the moderate ones and their taxi drivers will normally drive Renault Clio, Skoda Octavia, the new Dacia Logan and a little older version of Dacia called Supernova and the prices we give you are applied to all the above description.
For traveling to or from Bucharest more and more people use the Bucharest flight. The capital of Romania has grown in terms of air traffic in the late years, especially when it comes to European capitals and touristic European destinations. Presently there are many daily flights landing and taking off Henri Coandă Airport (former Otopeni) or Băneasa Airport, connecting Bucharest with major cities and capitals of the world. Although the common perception is that this kind of Bucharest transport is very expensive, there are presently airline companies that have started to include options for cheap flights to Bucharest in their offers. Traveling to Spain with BlueAir and AirMadrid or to Italy with MyAir are some example for cheap flights to Bucharest. British Airways is also going to provide very soon a cheap connection between Bucharest and London.
No matter the option, the Bucharest transport is a must and many times the Bucharest inhabitants have to take more than one bus or tram and to change various subway stations in order to go from one point of the city to another.
